Thiele Eyewear & Optometry Services

Thiele (F.A. Thiele A/S) is Denmark's oldest optical retail chain, established in Copenhagen in 1817 by court instrument maker Frederik Anton Thiele. The company originally manufactured and sold precision scientific instruments, magnifying glasses, and spectacles, eventually expanding into a nationwide chain of optical stores specializing in vision tests, contact lenses, and designer glasses.

Today, F.A. Thiele A/S operates as an independent, privately held Danish retail company under the ultimate control of the Thiele family through holding companies, primarily controlled by Jens F.A. Thiele. The brand is distinct from unrelated German namesakes such as Thiele GmbH (a heavy chain manufacturer in Iserlohn, Germany). Spectacle frames, lenses, and contact lenses sold through Thiele stores are sourced and manufactured internationally across multiple countries including Italy, Germany, France, Japan, and China.
